Theodore Roosevelt: Visionary And Ethical Leader

Have you ever seen a passenger pigeon? How about a dodo? Probably not, because they’re extinct. These birds and many other animals were hunted to extinction by trophy hunters looking to fill their walls and shelves without any concern for preservation of the species. Theodore Roosevelt saw the effect of man’s expansion across the world, and saw in it a prudent need to preserve the life of many different types of animals, a need for humanity that outweighed the need to conquer, expand and invade the natural world.

One of the ways that we are taught to be good conservators of these resources is by implementing a comprehensive foreign object awareness and damage prevention program. This begins on day one, and helps to prevent unnecessary costs incurred by preventable damage. By taking ownership of the flight line, I am actively doing my part to conserve resources that allows my squadron to accomplish our mission. This is can be as simple as if I see something on the ground, I know that I need to pick it up. To me, this is the same as picking up trash in a park. I didn’t leave that rock on the flight line, and I will not be piloting the aircraft on the taxiway. By picking up the rock, I make sure that I preserve the area as I found it in order for it to be useable by the aircrew getting ready to launch out, and I save our engine mechanic some work when the jet returns, assuming that the rock didn’t cause a catastrophic failure. This also translates to how I behave when I participate in when I
